Résumé

Liver failure is a life-threatening condition which often requires intensive care treatment. It is essential to quickly determine whether there are indications for extracorporeal liver support systems for the patient. The aims of the study were: to assess effectiveness of molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) therapy based on selected clinical criteria, to analyze the moment of clinical response and to create a patient's profile, who will benefit clinically from the treatment. The analysis encompassed medical histories of 65 patients treated with MARS. Effectiveness of treatment was evaluated based on selected clinical parameters. Statistical analysis was performed based on medical data gathered. There were 158 cycles of MARS performed, with effectiveness documented in 57 cycles (36.6%). The first MARS session was effective in 43.1% of patients. They also more often responded to the second cycle (63.6% vs. 15.4%). A significant part of the analysis was devoted to create a profile of the patient in whom positive response can be expected. A low MELD score and low baseline white blood cells (WBC) level are statistically significant factors in multivariate analysis of selected features of positive clinical response to treatment. MARS therapy is an effective form of treatment in a properly selected group of patients with liver failure. The first MARS session is the most effective one. It is also a good prognostic factor for further clinical response to treatment. Multifactorial analysis of positive clinical response to treatment enables to create a patient's profile based on the lower baseline MELD score and WBC.
